** When [[spoiler: Otoya]] is charging at her, Tokaku somehow manages to repeatedly shoot the exact same area where [spoiler:Otoya's]] blades were crossed, causing her to accidentally deflect the bullets.
** [[spoiler:Kouko]] misses every single shot when she fires her gun at Tokaku. In the manga she also manages to completely miss Haru at point blank range with grenades. That's a special kind of incompetent right there.
** [[spoiler:Isuke]] misses when she fires at Tokaku, although the first one does graze her cheek.
** [[spoiler:Sumireko's machine gun arm]] never once hits Tokaku, even at times when it should have been easy to hit her.
